Job description

At Insify, you will take ownership of a meaningful part of the company’s journey and deliver results that move the business forward.

As a Software Engineer, you will play a key role in building new customer-facing products and scaling the core platform powering insurance across the EU, working closely with teammates across the company to turn ideas into execution and execution into measurable outcomes.

About Insify

Insify is a high-growth scale-up building and scaling insurance products across Europe, with a mission to become a leader in AI-powered SME insurance.

The culture is intense, high-stakes, and mission-driven, suited to people who thrive on challenges, value intellectual honesty, and share the mindset of building a global category leader.

What you will be doing

• Product Development: Build new customer-facing products, extend existing ones, and improve the customer experience.
• Platform Scaling: Build and scale the core platform powering insurance products across the EU.
• Technical Leadership: Lead by example, promote best practices in software development, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
• Own outcomes within your scope — from problem definition to delivery.
• Operate in ambiguity and make decisions without perfect information.
• Collaborate closely with colleagues across functions.
• Improve how the team works by spotting inefficiencies and proposing better ways.
• Balance speed and quality in a fast-moving environment.

This role is a strong fit if you

• Have technical grit: Proven experience building products that customers actually love and use.
• Can lead & mentor: Strong mentoring skills with the ability to guide and develop other engineers.
• Are a collaborator: Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Think like an owner: You don’t wait for perfect instructions; you see a gap and you close it.
• Turn messy problems into clear, actionable plans: You can navigate complex technical puzzles and deliver high-quality outcomes.

Our tech stack

• Languages/Frameworks: TypeScript, Node.js, React
• Architecture: Serverless, CQRS, event-sourced, event-driven
• Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform, GitHub Actions

This role is not for you if

• You are looking for a strict 40-hour work week.
• You need fully defined scopes and stable priorities to perform well.
• You prefer staying high-level and avoiding hands-on execution.
• You expect long ramp-up periods before taking ownership.

We offer

• Competitive compensation that reflects responsibility and impact.
• Trust and autonomy: You’ll have real ownership and room to make decisions, with space to grow and shape your role as Insify evolves.
• A steep learning curve, with support from experienced teammates.
• The opportunity to share in what we’re building, with equity for eligible roles once there’s mutual conviction on fit and impact.
• A welcoming, central Amsterdam HQ where the team works closely together, with shared lunches, dogs in the office, whiteboards, and end-of-week drinks.
• An international, ambitious team that enjoys building meaningful things together.
